Using this Christopher Knight Home outdoor set is a breeze. Place the loveseat and coffee table in your desired outdoor area. You can use the loveseat for relaxing on sunny days or chatting with friends. The coffee table is perfect for holding drinks, snacks, or books. When it comes to assembly, just follow the included instructions and use the provided tools. It won't take you long to have it all set up. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the weather. While the set can handle mild weather, during extreme conditions like heavy rain, snow, or strong winds, it's a good idea to cover it or move it indoors. This will help keep the acacia wood in good shape and prevent any damage. Periodically, you can clean the set with a mild soap and water solution to keep it looking its best.
